hello flyforum,
Today I found this Tephritis sp. (if I'm right..)
Is this Tephritis neesii?
greeting, Robert

Hi Robert,
I was thinking it could be
Campiglossa spec.

Hi Robert,
Jan Willem is right, it's an
Campiglossa. Probably
C. misella, but that is very difficult to determine from a picture...
You state, you found it 'today'. You mean you actually found this specimen alive on februari the 1st??
The earliest records I have of a
Campiglossa is a
C. absinthii on may 18th!
Therefore I would be very interested in the exact data, including the locallity, and if you happen to have collected the specimen I would like to confirm the identity.
Best wishes,
John

Thank you both,
The data and locallity is the same as this bug:

I think there will be many earliest records this year!
There are a lot of insekts flying already!!
I did not collect it as specimen..

I'm glad I didn't dare to give a species name ;).
